Puppy XP-Vista look with Office and rdp client

#1 Post by r.misul »

Hi everybody!
I am absolute a newbie with linux and with puppy but I am enthusiastic!
I downloaded several versions of puppy but I was unable to find what i was looking for. Basically:
1.complete Puppy
2.vista-xp look
3.office
4.rdp client
I have to run this os on a old presario 7000 with broken HD but 256 Mega of Ram.
Then I need another puppy with xp-vista look with RDP able to run on a old PII with 64 Mega of Ram.
I thank whoever will give me help.
Regards from Italy

getting the xp look is easy enough

menu -> control panel -> jwm configuration -> click okay -> themes
select jwm-puppy-xp

restart jwm now? = yes
then okay

next find an xp looking background and put it in
/usr/share/backgrounds

then


menu -> control panel -> puppybackground desktop backgroundimage

------------------

as for running puppy on broken hard drives: i have no suggestions, but I guess you have that figured out

as for running puppy with 64 mb ram, do an option 2 install and use a swap partition or swap file
